The Touch The Feel Of Cotton (Candy)

If you'd asked me earlier today I would have been convinced that Alex had tasted the melt in your mouth goodness of cotton candy before. I mean the kid is 2 years old! What kind of dad would I be if I didn't give my baby some cotton candy! Yet there we were offering him some tonight at the Helen Keller parade and he just kept staring at it like....like....well that got me wondering what he was staring at it like and here's the best I can figure:

1) He thought is was a piece of cloth. He was sorta looking at it all confused and I'm thinking he thought it was basically a pink t-shirt wrapped around a stick. I can understand this because after all they do call it COTTON candy. It looks like pink cotton. It looks like pink couch cushion foam on a stick.

2) In some ways it looks like a spider web yet it melts the moment it gets wet and is very sticky. I wonder if he thought we were trying to feed him pink spider web on a stick?

Either way he wasn't having any part of it and unfortunately so as not to waste I had to finish it for him. So this still leaves me wondering; did he think it was literally a piece of cotton on a stick or were we trying to feed him spider webs?

About Me

I’m just your average southern guy learning how to be the best dad I can.
I live in a small town in Alabama with my wife Mandy, 5yr-old son Adam, and 1 1/2 yr old Alex. Adam was born on 3/20/06 and that's when the adventure truly began.
I call myself Charlie Blockhead because #1 I’m a huge Peanuts fan, #2 Sometimes I do thing’s that are so….out of this world bizarre that even I am left wondering what happened.
I am a religious person, but it took me a long time to figure that out. Over the past few years it has been my goal to form solid opinions about life issues, politics, and what is right and wrong. I have been the child of a close family, a child of divorce, a nerd in school, a comic book geek, the stepson of an angry man, the brother of a baseball star, a frat bro, a hard worker, a freelance writer, an evil bill collector, a loving husband, a believer in Christ, a Deacon,a guy who just really likes to laugh, and most importantly a dad….. Maybe I’m not so average after all.
